I will not be online until next Monday.  I hope you can help me.
Thanks, Dennis

A few things. First, I thought I'd point out that the code actually has two spheres, SLIGHTLY offset from each other (If you zoom in far enough, you can see the a slight crease). You'll have to remove one of them in order in order to truly line up (...) (26 years ago, 7-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad)
